Sharing the Love (V-Day giveaway)

When was the last time someone told you "Thank You" for saving the Earth?

Yeah, me too.

So I figure it's my job to spread the love today, the day before Valentine's Day, which might otherwise be marred by chainsaws, facemasks, or other graphic horror movie paraphernalia. Here goes...

Thank you! for picking neither paper nor plastic, but permanent bags for your groceries and shopping. Thanks also for picking the mug (not the Styrofoam cup) and the glass (instead of the plastic water bottle).

Thank you! for buying CFL light bulbs and saving yourself a ton of money at the same time. Same goes for the Energy Star fridge and washer.

Thank you! for driving a sensible car, riding a bike, or reading on the way to work by taking the bus. Not to mention carpooling with the hypochondriac from Risk Management.

Thank you! for caring enough to go the extra mile, take the eco-challenge, and riot for austerity. Thank you for loving the Earth and your children enough to inconvenience yourself to be green, pay extra for the organic product, or go out of your way to make the right choice.

Both the books would be useful. During the recent cold snap, we discovered just how ineffecient our back door really is. I'm trying to figure out a low cost fix that will not effect looks in case we need to relocate this year.
